    Abstract Background: Evidence links positive memory characteristics and hazardous alcohol use (HAU). Relevant to the current study, evidence also indicates that trauma-exposed individuals, especially those with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, report difficulties retrieving/accessing positive memories and report HAU.
    Objective: Considering this literature, we uniquely examined if and which positive memory characteristics were associated with HAU, and the potential mediating role of PTSD symptom severity in the examined relations.
    Methods: A sample of 126 trauma-exposed community participants seeking mental health treatment (Mage=34.97 years) completed measures of HAU (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), positive memory characteristics (Memory Experiences Questionnaire-Short Form [MEQ-SF]), and PTSD severity (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5). We conducted 8 hierarchical multiple regressions; Step 1 examined effects of gender and Step 2 added a single MEQ-SF dimension (specificity, valence, emotional intensity, sensory details, vividness, accessibility, coherence, sharing).
    Results: In Steps 1 (β=.27) and 2 (βs from .27-.28), gender was associated with HAU. In Step 2, positive memory characteristics of specificity (β=.17), sensory details (β=.17), sharing (β=.23), and valence (β=-.19) were associated with greater HAU. PTSD severity mediated relations between sensory details (β=.09, p=.048), emotional intensity (β=.12, p=.011), and sharing (β=.09, p=.036), and the extent of HAU.
    Conclusions and implications: Results that specificity, greater sharing, more sensory details, and higher negative valence of positive memories were associated with greater HAU offer potential points of intervention.

    Abstract Although COVID-19 is a physical illness, it has had large impacts on mental health. For many individuals, social distancing has led to social isolation; individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders are at a particular risk for negative outcomes due to the global pandemic. Here, we discuss the impacts we have noticed and procedures we have implemented to care for this population during the pandemic. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

    Abstract Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) includes changes in processes such as encoding and retrieval for both traumatic and positive memories. However, most work has predominantly focused on traumatic memories. Thus, Contractor and colleagues proposed a Positive Memory-PTSD model, which highlighted potential benefits associated with and mechanisms underlying positive memory retrieval/processing among individuals reporting PTSD symptoms. To enhance research on and clinical impacts of this model, the current review provides critical considerations for the Positive Memory-PTSD model. Drawing from emerging research and clinical observations, we (i) clarify that the model addresses specific versus overgeneral positive memories; (ii) underscore the importance of considering the heterogeneity in, and transitionary nature of, affect processes following positive memory retrieval; and (iii) highlight the rationale for considering trauma type/count and co-occurring conditions, as potential moderators of relations between positive memory processing and PTSD. Hereby, we provide an updated Positive Memory-PTSD model and implications for positive memory interventions drawing from this model.

    Abstract Abstract: Although the majority of research and clinical interventions focused on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) centers on traumatic memories, recent literature suggests the importance of considering emotionally laden memories more broadly among trauma-exposed individuals. Specifically, trauma-exposed individuals have difficulties retrieving positive and negative memories, and interventions focused on enhancing the retrieval of both traumatic and positive memories benefit overall well-being. These findings led to the development of a novel Processing of Positive Memories Technique (PPMT) for PTSD. As the next step in treatment development, PPMT was piloted among 12 trauma-exposed community members seeking therapeutic or assessment services at a university psychology clinic. In this study, we summarize participants' quantitative and qualitative feedback on the content, format, and feasibility of PPMT. Next, we outline proposed formative changes that are critical to the iterative refinement of PPMT, based on the obtained feedback to enhance its scalability, feasibility, and effectiveness. Within clinical practice, PPMT, as implemented in this study, may be feasible, and there may be potential benefits to incorporating positive memory processing using PPMT.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 significantly negatively impacted access to care among patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) enacted policies to expand telehealth and medication for OUD (MOUD) during the public health emergency, which offset risk of treatment disruption. In this study, we evaluated gender differences in utilization of behavioral therapy in person and via telehealth, MOUD utilization, and achieving 90-day MOUD retention pre-post pandemic onset, given known gender differences in treatment utilization between men and women. Secondarily, we examined MOUD receipt and retention as a function of in-person vs. telehealth behavioral therapy received over time.
    Methods: Using VHA's nationwide electronic health record data, we compared outcomes between men and women veterans, pre- to post-pandemic onset (January 2019-February 2020 vs. March 2020-April 2021). Primary outcomes included receipt of behavioral therapy (in person or telehealth), number of appointments attended, any MOUD, and whether patients achieved 90-day MOUD retention post-induction.
    Results: Veterans with OUD were less likely to receive behavioral therapy post-pandemic onset, which was driven by marked decreases in in-person care; these effects were strongest among women. The odds of receiving MOUD also decreased pre- to post-pandemic onset, particularly among men. Receipt of or achieving 90-day MOUD retention was differentially related to receipt of behavioral therapy via in person vs. telehealth; telehealth was more strongly associated with these utilization indicators post-pandemic onset-an effect that was more pronounced for men.
    Conclusion: The likelihood of receiving behavioral therapy and MOUD were lower during COVID-19 and varied by gender, with men being less likely to receive MOUD over time and women being less likely to receive in-person behavioral therapy. Behavioral therapy received via telehealth was generally associated with improved MOUD utilization compared to in-person behavioral therapy, but this was less true for women than for men regarding utilization of or achieving 90-day MOUD retention. In addition to the need for further telehealth expansion for veterans with OUD, more research should explore how to better engage men in MOUD treatment and improve adherence to MOUD among women engaged in behavioral therapy.

    Abstract Reckless and self-destructive behaviours (RSDBs), common among traumatised individuals, are associated with negative health consequences. Gaining a stronger understanding of factors associated with an increased likelihood of RSDBs among traumatised individuals offers potential new avenues for research and treatment. Mounting evidence indicates relations between traumatic experiences and deficits/disturbances in characteristics of

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic struck in the midst of an ongoing opioid epidemic. To offset disruption to life-saving treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), several federal agencies granted exemptions to existing federal regulations. This included loosening restrictions on medications for OUD (MOUD), including methadone and buprenorphine. In this commentary, we briefly review policy and practice guidelines for treating OUD prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We then outline specific MOUD treatment policy and practice exemptions that went into effect in February and March 2020, and discuss the ways in which these unprecedented changes have dramatically changed MOUD treatment. Given the unprecedented nature of these changes, and unknown outcomes to date, we advocate for a data-driven approach to guide future policy and practice recommendations regarding MOUD. We outline several critical clinical, research, and policy questions that can inform MOUD treatment in a post-COVID-19 era.
